Re 1. Your swap partition's UUID must be different. Check "/etc/initramfs-tools/". There is a "resume" file (in that dir or in a subdir) that will have your swap partition's UUID. Re 2. What do you mean by "After changing the UUID of the new partition"? After "dd...", did your run "tune2fs -U ..." on your root partition (or the equivalent for xfs, ...; I am assuming that you have just one partition)? If you didn't, your root partition still has the same UUID and update-grub is picking it up correctly (in which case, I have no idea idea how you are booting up!). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
